The 'left' doesn't worship politicians like gods. I would honestly be indifferent if 90% of the Democratic establishment got wiped out.

The fact that they're frothing at the mouth without any actual evidence of the shooters ideology is all you need to know about their intentions.

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? That guy needs to chill out. Charlie Kirk was worth no more, and probably even less, than any of the other hundreds of people that die any and every day from gun violence. People on the Right have literally just discovered what America is all about, I guess?

lol

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely wasn't as much of a tragedy as the kids who died the same day in Colorado.

[–] Zirconium@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Let them target Democratic leaders instead of trans people and Palestinian protestors, although they would do all 3.

Wasn't the Reichstag fire a false flag?

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 82 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah, Nazis burned it and blamed the ~~Jews~~ Communists, then used it as an excuse to start rounding them up.

[–] JohnSwanFromTheLough@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They blamed the communists for the fire.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 8 points 1 year ago

You're right, my bad !

Short answer: Yes

But we live in a time where history is rewritten daily. Hitler was a socialist - bullshit for example.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People were also conflating Hitler as a socialist then.

The whole point of that was to discredit actual socialism. It wasn't socialism to them, but a dog whistle for nationalism.

It would have been more accurate to call that the National nationalist party.

[–] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Hitler was a socialist... so as long you were wealthy, ayran, and loyal. Eveyone else got brutal totalitarism and capitalism while fed to a war machine to keep the lie going.

Go ahead and ban the party. We'll make a new one. Name it the FUCK CHARLIE KIRK Party.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did trump have kirk assassinated to distract from the epstein shit? As they always say on the right, I'm just asking questions...

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think Trump, personally, has the stomach to actually order someone killed. He likes to hint around that if something bad happens to people he doesn't like, well that would be unfortunate wink wink but I think he's too spineless to actually order a hit. Now Nosferatu and his ilk on the other hand . . .

They are so fucking stupid. They don’t understand what the historical events mean. They don’t understand who the villain is in Star Wars. It’s all fucking bizarro world in their minds.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

StarWars is fucked. You have the religious extremists known as "Jedi". They travel around, engaging in galaxy wide human trafficking and kidnapping.

So they can get their hands on kids and start training them as child soldiers to create obedient, dogmatic super soldiers.

I'm not saying they're the only villains. But they are definatly not the "good guys"

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The real trick to Star wars is knowing every side is evil.

Just ones realistically evil and the other is cartoonishly evil.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago

idk man the past ten years have really given me new limits on what counts as "cartoonish"

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 1 year ago

THEY THINK they are punisher, and superman.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I didn't even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was. If they did I assumed they wouldn't talk about it considering how often they engage in it

Most of them are christians they are well versed in hypocrisy.

[–] KeavesSharpi@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

I didn’t even realize the right new what stochastic terrorism was.

Obviously considering the context, they don't. An assassination isn't stochastic terrorism, and nobody on the left is calling for violence. That's them. So the accusation is a confession in this case. This post is literally stochastic terrorism, and a call for violence.

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Ironic that this very statement from them contains a hefty handful of it.

I don't think anyone is afraid of Meal Team Six.

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Those J6 "rioters" were some dumb motherfuckers. Too bad they got a gift of little to no punishment. In fact, I think the shooter was one of them, that was let out by Trump (not really, but that'd be something). Soft on crime, hard on minorities Trump.

Matt Forney is already a well-known Nazi. He has his own ADL entry.

Classic abusive "look at what you made me do!" rhetoric.

I also think that wanting to kill half the population is a bit of an overreaction. Especially so, since they're already ahead in the kill count.

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since it turned out it was a Republican that killed him. Are they gonna do the same now?

Honor Charlie Krik by doing what he requested - RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

I'm legitimately scared of what the Right's going to do now that Charlie Kirk's death has kicked their ant hill

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Does this guy have any public speaking engagements coming up?

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Things will get out of control for sure.

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

for people who dont like being called nazis, they sure talk a lot of nazi shit... (no surprise... but... idk, I'm saying it like it's a revelation for nostalgia sake I guess)

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

do these people know what RICO is? kirk was also on about files, trump cant have one of thier major propaganda talking heads , speaking the contrary

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So they’re basically admitting they’re Nazis looking for a reason to genocide liberals

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I mean they were mask-off when they tried to lynch politicians and storm the seat of government.

Why would the Reichstag fire and the Night of Long Knives be where you go first??

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I for one did Nazi that coming.

So they’re admitting they’re the NAZIS and will use the shooting as a false flag to attack the left even knowing that the shooter came from a MAGA family and was probably a right winger himself?
